Atlante Marine becomes a supporter of Green Marine Europe

January 30, 2026

Green Marine Europe (GME) welcomes Atlante Marine as a new supporter. This support reflects the convergence between a demanding environmental certification framework and a financial actor committed to supporting European shipowners and operators in the transition.

Atlante Marine I is a fund dedicated to the decarbonisation of European maritime and inland waterway fleets. With a target size of €200 million in equity, it makes equity investments in vessels alongside mid-sized European shipowners and operators. The sectors covered include short sea shipping, inland navigation, offshore wind services, and specialised tonnage.

The management team brings together professionals combining maritime expertise, infrastructure asset investment experience, and strong transaction capabilities, with a clear ambition: to put their analytical and forward-looking skills at the service of the energy transition of maritime transport, in line with European public policies.

“Supporting Green Marine Europe is fully aligned with our approach: structuring and accelerating fleet decarbonisation by relying on credible reference frameworks, recognised by the industry and aligned with European regulatory trajectories. GME certification provides a common language and concrete indicators that are essential to inform investment decisions and to support shipowners sustainably in their transition.” — Christophe Lefebvre, Co-Managing Director of the Atlante Marine fund

For Green Marine Europe, this new support illustrates the growing role of financial stakeholders within the environmental transition ecosystem—a role that goes beyond financing per se to help structure robust, measurable, and comparable environmental practices at the European level.

Atlante Marine’s commitment alongside Green Marine Europe therefore strengthens the bridges between environmental performance, operational realities, and financing levers, at the heart of a credible and collective maritime transition.
